Find a property owner in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Mecklenburg County takes in Charlotte and the surrounding area. In North Carolina, deeds are recorded by the county register of deeds, and property is assessed by the county tax office. Those offices give you the owner of record and mailing address one parcel at a time; for a whole list, an owner-data tool returns owners, phones (DNC flagged) and emails in one pass.
What's on a Mecklenburg County property record
- The recorded owner name (person or LLC)
- The mailing address (often different from the property location for absentee owners)
- Assessed value and tax history
- Property characteristics (lot size, year built where applicable, square footage)
- A link to the recorded deed in most counties
Working Mecklenburg County records
Official sources used for Charlotte addresses:
- Mecklenburg County Polaris property search — Map-based parcel search with owner of record, mailing address and deed references.
- Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds — Recorded deeds and plats (search from the county's website).
North Carolina charges an excise tax of $1 per $500 of value on deeds, and the stamps are noted on the recorded deed, which signals the approximate sale price.
Compare the owner mailing address with the property address. When they differ, the owner is usually absentee — a landlord or second-home owner — and often worth a different pitch than an owner-occupant.
